Agreed but I’m looking forward to the new artist coming on Scarlett’s strike force. He has a long history with GI joe and I love his style. It will be the first step in the right direction. As much as I dislike Sitterson’s writing, I do believe IDW has great intentions for G.I. Joe and trust they will pull all the loose ends together in time. Other than the main joe book I love what they have done with the crossover events (which really SHOULDN’T have worked) and Hama is still doing interesting things with the other title.

How can they have great intentions for GI Joe when they don't even call the comic GI Joe anymore? That really bothers me. It comes off as them trying to distance themselves from Joe by making it something else.

Because it may get new readers? Joe still has an ongoing series called gi joe by Hama and weíve gotten offshoots of joe many times via snake eyes or stormshadow or cobra files. Idw is organizing their books like tv seasons and I bet Scarlett regroups her team with main Gi joe in due time.

You don’t bring new readers to Joe comics by changing it to something else. Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow were individual titles, they weren’t about the Joe team but with the name changed. Sitters on hates Joe and this is another win for him. The fact that he hasn’t been fired is a win for him already. This shit just emboldens him further.

Itís two separate things. Iím just saying the name isnít that different than a snake eyes ongoing series. I donít like sittersonís writing either, but these things get written in advance and change takes time. The new artist is a great step.

Sitterson was not going to be fire right away, work on Scarlett's strike force was already well underway, more than half the season was already worked out and they weren't gonna drop it with only a few more issues left in the series "season". I imagine after this next series, we won't be seeing Sitterson around anymore going into "season 3" as they are calling these titles. Unless some miracle happens with sales, as it's going I don't see them keeping him around past this next series and bringing in a new creative team.

What's ironic is that GI Joe, feels like GI Joe and is kinda neat when it's not written by Sitterson. Revolutionaries, First Strike, etc with GI Joe all kinda works, but whenever Sitterson is behind the wheel... it's like hes trying his hardest to screw with the fans.

Larry's books which get next to no marketing push from IDW are outselling Sitterson's "crown jewel"
